Oh
It's a little bit sick there
There you go
That's not good
Yeah, oh really oh my god
If it's your first episode, I'm sorry turn it off now, there's fucking no point. Oh
Jesus I'm in my in my recovery stage from coming off a night. So forgive me for being a little bit
Take me give me some warming up time. I have no excuse
Why what you tired as well? No, I've just got nice. I'm just like this
It's bugging me that your straps fucking
all wonky at the top
Yeah, that one. I like them though. They're nice. They're fucking up
They did well. Yeah, cuz I've got fucking cuz I've got fat and I snapped the buttons off so that held together by cable ties
And they're like a sharp that is for cuts my belly come at an angle. Yeah
Right
Fantastic do we got do I hope in what you've been doing
Working plan video games smashing my car to pieces
I'm
What else there was some other stuff? Oh
Yeah, what sort of video games anything fucking I don't want to talk about boulders gate or fucking dragons dogma, please
I don't want to
But then what you can talk about World of Warcraft. No, I'm not. I'm not I'm gonna make a conscious effort to not
Which is gonna be difficult because I haven't really done anything else to end it here
I can only talk about what I've played
I've played dragon's dogma
Helldivers to and Daisy you were playing helldivers to you. Let's jump on to that one because I know they did a load of updates
Well, I can't really say a lot because I dropped into one game
So I thought the trouble is with helldivers. Yeah, I don't know what I'm doing. No, I missed the boat originally
Yeah, so I started playing late anyway, and I played a couple of matches and then I turn it off
Didn't turn it on again for another month
Put it on the other day
Didn't know what I was doing quick match jumped into this team of there was only two down there
So I jumped into this team of two
So we was a team of three and then I just followed them about yeah shot the stuff they shot and left and was I don't
Know what the point of that was and I turn it off. I haven't played it for a while, man
I know there's a lot that's gone on since I lost fucking jumped into it
I don't know if that I don't think the hype around it died. I think like the residual hype
has
sort of
dissipated and now it's
The player base is the player base whatever whatever it is
It's very steady and everyone loves it right there. You can often gauge popularity of a game ironically through their
Whatever game it is is Twitter page because if the Twitter page don't pop off then no one interested
So when helldivers just posts anything it gets a minimum of a thousand likes
That's that's big for Twitter because I can tell one Twitter what goes on
likewise, so
Yeah, they're still they're still doing very well people were very excited about whatever it is that they just released
Because I see a lot of people's comment saying
They're gonna dress their characters how now they can dress them how they had them in hill drivers one
Which is obviously like a top-down thing
So people will got some nostalgia for the game or whatnot or played from from the original
they're gonna be
excited, but
And then I need to watch a guide because I don't know what I'm doing
I say you get your stratagems you fucking killing bugs man. Yeah, you get your weapons and then you go to the map
But that's I don't know what you can go anywhere, right? Yeah, what am I supposed to be doing anywhere?
Well, why you're supposed to be helping the greater cause but how do you help the great cause dropping in and killing stuff?
Good to know it's as simple as that. Think of it. Think of it like this. You're in a war and
The way that you win the war might like most wars is you kill the enemy
That's all you got to do. You're just a fucking foot soldier. You're nothing. You're nothing special work around go down there
Kill some stuff die come back as someone else rinse and repeat
Normally go for the shit. That's like the most liberated
If it's like 99% liberated you go and help them out. Just finish that one off liberate that planet and then fucking go and do the next one
I'll definitely be putting some more time into it
So yeah, I'm enjoying what I played and I'll be more I'll jump on with you
I haven't played it for a while. But yeah, I'll definitely jump on because it's it's it's been a long time, but it is a very good game
it's just one of those where I feel like once you
once you get into like the role play of it and
You start to think in a way that you're not the main character. It starts to get so much better
Well, yeah, but they're adding so much as well
There's like a couple new guns coming out is like new battle pass thing come out when you do stuff you get rewards for
Like I know you get awards in the mission
But if you do certain things at the end of a week or month or whatever they give you loads of stuff
Mmm, fuck knows but the idea is when you when you drop in
You can see on your map the areas that you need to do that different objectives
and you get like the mo there's like a
Almost like a main scenario on a given drop
Which you can complete and then you can fuck off and extract back to your ship
Or like what most people do you go and do everything on that map to get the maximum amount of XP and all that kind of shit
And then you extract and in between that you can pick up these things called samples
Which is like what you use to upgrade your ship and all that kind of shit. So is it is it is very simple
What's the what's the what's the punishment for death then because you just get called back in so what why you only you only have so many
Do you yeah, yeah, you only have so many
It's not respawns. It's
Reinforcements. Yeah, so I think I think you might have like three or four
Reinforcements or something like that. So yeah, once you're once you're dead
You're dead. That's fucking mission failed. You all died
humorously when I first dropped up I was shooting and then I forgot that when you reload it reloads the memory needs
Wasting bullets and then I got hit so I went to stem but I threw a grenade and blew myself up. So humorously I died
They respawned me but then I didn't die again for the rest of the match and they did and they were a lot higher level
Than me so I felt good about myself, but I was like hiding behind them because it's scary because I don't want to
Cuz there's so much going on
And obviously this friendly fire and I don't know they're dropping fucking airstrikes and whatnot. So
Friendly fires always on man. I just tried to stay out the back. I watched the YouTube video on it last night
I begin as guide rara might be a bit outdated now, but
The best tip I actually got from that video is in the comments and it said
Which is something I need to remember when I play is never stand your ground
Always retreat and let them come to you because they're always coming to you, right?
Whereas my mentality is shoot and walk towards them. Do you know I mean, but don't do that run run run
So run back let them come and go, you know, always keep you back to them. Well, I'm fun to them
So yeah, I definitely want to play more
But yeah dragons dogma, too
No, I have to touch on it. I have to touch on it because some things have happened
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know
I
Think I'm near the end, but I'm not sure but nevertheless D
I actually unlocked that mystic spear and last night. Mm-hmm
So it's the first class that I've actually switched to mm-hmm other than the mage
Jason
Well, no, cuz it's level one. So I've got no abilities. You know, I mean I've maxed the sorcerer. So I've got all my skills
But what I realized is I
Suck
Alright because the whole game. Yeah, obviously we're used to stabbing shit up and but not doing a mage stuff
Yeah, but this whole game I've just been in the background like lightning bolt in and fucking throwing ice bricks at people and shit
Like that. Yeah
So when I've actually got a melee class, I forgot that you have to learn enemy patterns
Yeah, you're gonna clear what you do. I don't know any of the enemy patterns
I've been smashing goblins and lizards and fucking drakes and ogres and all sorts of stuff easy peasy now
But as soon as I've actually got get in there and fight your fire
I'm there whipping my ass, bro
I don't know how to fight them because I don't know any of their patterns because I'm up on a mountain all the time
Not getting involved or paying attention. So it's completely I've put like 40 odd hours into the game and now it's like playing it again from
Like a new perspective because I don't know how to fucking deal with the simplest of creatures
Also, obviously there's that dragon's play going about yeah, yeah, I think I think rain might have it
Well, that's you fucked then you got to kill him. Yeah, I kind of I kind of fucked up the game a little bit
No, so we got to kill them. Yeah, I don't know
So, you know what do you know? No, cuz I like I'd like to I'd like to experiment and learn things by myself
all right, so don't tell me nothing, but I will say is I fucked up originally because I
Found the Elven City. Yeah, so no one speaks English. So they will talk Elvin's you can't understand it
Yeah, when I've come across pawns in the world every now and again, they're like greeting messages. I can talk Elvis rather
I'm sorry. I don't need you. Hmm. So when I got there I went to a rift stones
I need someone that can speak Elvis
And I was having a look and you can like look at your friends lists pawns as well
Mm-hmm, and I realized that the friends list pawns don't cost any riff crystals
Why say your friends so you can get them free one of my friends the only friend I had I don't know who he is
The only friend that I had had the had a pawn that could talk Elvis was like level 80
So I'm not level 36. Mm-hmm shit massively too overleveled for me to want to have because it just made the game easier
You're right. Yeah, so I was like whatever
Summoned him just so I could talk to these old things spoke to all them got all the information I needed
Turn it off for the night
Went back on a farm must remember to get rid of that porn when I go on tomorrow. Yeah
Obviously, I didn't so I fucking turn it on gone about
And then a dragon's come down and I haven't been able to kill a dragon
I've tried so many times and it's just too odd
This dragons come down. Yeah, I smashed it to bits. Thanks to the level 80 porn
It's only doing it died. I was like fuck. It's that thing in it. Yeah
Oh, so I went to a rift thing to try and get rid of it, but it kept saying
Like network connection failed. So my internet weren't working on it for some reason or the connection on on
Capcom side was fucked so I couldn't get rid of it. So I had to run around with this fucking never weighty porn for ages
Why don't you just kill it? Yeah, I didn't think like that and that would have been wasteful in it
So I might as well took advantage. So I killed another dragon
What I've got rid of it now
So yeah, I got rid of that and then I
Summoned its replacements was like you can go
I'll pay the rift crystals needed to summon someone more my level because it's more fun
I like the game to be challenging got this fucking what was his name? I
I can't remember his name, but I only summon cool name characters. I don't summon, you know, stinky poo dot one two
to be cool
He's like a beast run. So he's like a big cat warrior
Someone is beast run. He's not fucking he's like a big old Viking warrior, but he's like the cat thing
And he he's got a proper attitude to him. He's actually stinks. But I like it
Mmm. Anyway, he come over as soon as he spawn into my game fucking like tutorial thing popped up dragons play
And I was like, why is that popping up man? Well, there's a reason that's popping up, right?
So I read through it and I was like, I've heard of it, but I don't really understand what it is
and then I
Heard that their eyes go red and I'm colorblind
So I'm like trying to get the right angle the fucking colorblind settings on don't think there is any there might be there would be
But then but then what how do I know what color their eyes are supposed to be because it would change it for you
Yeah, but how do I know that because I know their eyes are supposed to be red
But how what color would I be looking for? I don't know. That's what the color blindness thing sorts out
Yeah, I think I swear you can just input in color but like settings that you can't see fucking red
But you know what I'm saying if they're supposed to be red and the colorblind setting changes it
How am I supposed to know that they're not the color eyes that he's given them because they'll change it to a color that they're supposed
To I don't know. I don't know how you fucking spazzy eyes work. Exactly. So I looked
I thought is his eyes red. I thought I don't know but you can make your eyes red anyway, so I don't I don't know
anyway, yeah fucking plodding along and then I
Can't remember rain just started fucking a proper attitude with me, bro. I was like what what's his fucking beef man?
Why are you getting all strappy? He started saying some weird shit and that and I was like I
Think I think he's infected. I think that fucking Melvin or whatever his name is not Melvin. I wouldn't summon someone called Melvin
But whatever his name is he's come over and he's give rain an STD
Essentially because that's it infects like through them in it. Can I impart some wisdom on you only a little bit?
Right that that warning that comes up
Yeah, he's not an indicator that someone has got dragons plague in your party
All right, that is just an indicator that cut that just comes up naturally
But why does it come up 40 odd hours in though? Don't know but it doesn't it it they someone might have dragons plague
But it doesn't always mean that someone does have dragons plague. It's just a fucking thing that comes up
Maybe you maybe you hit a threshold of someone in however many for people from the fucking rift
secondly
The eyes one of the telltales is that they do go red but they it's like a quick burst of red
They like glow red and then back to normal a glow red and go back to normal
And now the last thing that I will impart on you to do with dragons plague
It fucks your game I've heard something like that
Everyone dies everyone
everyone dies I
Don't know what the respawns are like
But I died I know of villages completely decimated from dragons plague and as far as I was aware
And if you did if you if you thought any of your party had dragons plague you got kill him and
You got a pray that you've done it sooner like
Early enough and there is no fucking doubling back on the saves and shit. So what happens to rain then?
Well, if he's got it, he's gonna die. Yeah, but then you can only have one custom-made porn
Right. So is he dead forever?
I'd imagine so
Oh
Think of it think of it he's he's um
Fucking not scurvy. What's the fucking what's the?
Bubonic play. Yeah. Yeah. No cuz fuck it black death
Red discussion before was Joel right to we did with Ellie in the last of us. Absolutely
Yeah, but he's going yeah, but he's gonna fuck you up as well. I am the medieval Joel
I
Because it was a big thing on tik-tok that kept popping up
So that's how I that's how I've got my information of it and I've seen it
I've seen the decimated cities and everything. I but I don't have the knowledge on on
What happens if a whole village fucking dies do they respawn?
I saw some people saying you just fucking wait 12 hours and they respawn and I see some people saying no
They're dead for good. I see some people saying they went round and fucking revived each of them individually
So it depends but I definitely know if you think someone's got the fucking dragons plague then you kill them
You gotta get rid of them. I'll kill that Melvin
But you can I'm not killing rain you can inspect people in the rift
You can look at them and you can watch them closely and if they're you like if they've got the symptoms that are visual
Then you you can see them in the riff before you take them
because there was a geezer who went in and he was looking around and yeah, he looked at this woman he sort of like
Panned the camera around so it was like her face was like directly in front and he was watching and then you just see
Her eyes glow red news. Oh
Fucking got it. You stay away from me. Yeah
I'll have a look at my I think that's a really cool mechanic. Yeah, I think it's fucking annoying
I feel like it's one of those where where I sit on the sidelines and go that is fantastic
I love it, but I know the minute that I were to get something like that
I'd be fuming if everyone's just fucking gone
If I Google it if I have to kill rain, then it'll be an honorable death
But if I have to kill that Melvin, I'm chucking him off the top of a mountain because he's got attitude anyway
So he can learn how to fly
Dragons, yeah, but don't don't spoil anything
I'm not gonna read it for your own read it for your own spoil anything for you. I never do. Mm-hmm
But yeah, that's that's my dragons dogma experience so far. I
Love it. I think it's a fantastic game
My other than that, yeah, I've only really played Daisy so obviously I sent you that clip the other day that traitorous fuck
I
Knew I knew I fucking knew it soon as it started happening. I knew that he fucking screwed me over
Once again traveled with him for fucking hours and then he fucked you over you just I'm just away
Cuz I say no cuz you you've literally told me before and the fucking millions of people that listen to this podcast
to never trust anyone and when you went ahead and broke the fucking cardinal rule and
You trusted someone but and they betrayed you seem so nice like the dog you are
We were how did I even meet him? I was I was in a gaff
He was smacking up some zombies or something and then I opened the door. I said, you're right. He said hello
And he said where you going? I said, I don't know. He said I'm going to let throw you want to come with me
I was like fuck it. Mm-hmm, and he even said I've got some boys there. I'm just on my way back there. I
I was like cool. So I was with him. We were fucking ages was helping each other smack up zombies protecting each other
Giving each other food and items both of us
You know both of us could have turned on each other at any moment and killed one another
And then a couple of times I spoke to him and he didn't answer and then he was I saw I was just in a party
With my mate. I was like, yeah, that's cool. And then yeah the fucking bushes matey Bob comes and then he tied me up
We've fucking duct tape just before he did it. I tried to get my sickle out
I was gonna cut his throat but as he as he time out of my duct I was all right, whatever
You know do you?
And then but then he went over to matey Bob and then he went to behind him and he went oh you're lucky
I've run out of duct tape as soon as he said that I thought
Hmm. I don't trust you. I think you're in on this and then my mate said or if I had a gun and I thought he didn't
React to that, you know offensive comment
So that's when I said to him you fucking chief whatever it was and he turned around getting waggled in his shooting his gun in the air
Hey, don't fucking talk to me like that
And then he said
In full time just trying to enjoy himself getting duct taped and beaten
Enjoy that did you
It's just the fact that you come home just to relax
Being kidnapped and beaten and tortured on a game
And then rinse and repeat no part of Daisy's relaxing. Yeah, but you don't partake in torture. That's your problem
No, because I ain't got no powers at play it. It's hard to do it on your own
Yep, but you've you've you've had many stuffs before yeah
I've had many stuff exactly and you've had capability to this what I'm saying
You need to be fucking more ruthless and meaner stop giving people I'm on site. I would rather play
Friendly, there's a very good video
I've got saved on my PlayStation which I will send to you later. I don't know if I've ever showed you but it's not on my phone
But me and this guy
I'm on my own
I bumped into this guy on a bridge and
He's got a gun and I said to him. Well, he spoke to me. He was like, hello
Hello, I need some food. I'm hungry. Have you got to know whatever he's like? Yeah, then it's geezer come out of nowhere
He's got no gears fucking nothing, you know, and I turn around I was like, whoa, is he with you?
And he said no, he said he's a review. I said no he said
What's your name to this guy? And he said nothing. He said have you got a mic and he shook his head and
He just blew his head off and he went no mic no life
And I was like, that's a great motto to live by on Daisy
So I like to try my friends with people no like my life
But the problem is if you spot someone you don't know you don't know if they've got anybody else with them
Yeah, this is no fucking radar. There's no mat
There could be another geezer in the house behind them that they've just left
So it's very tricky to like, you know attack people
Unless you are confident or you have the numbers on your on your side, but nevertheless
This guy fucking stitched me up. He walked me down a road his mate come out of bush pointed his gun at me
He tied me up walking me and he and his power into the bush. He was pretending to be a hostage to
he said
I
Called him a fucking punk because his mate was mouthing off and I thought well, let's see if he reacts to me
He did he said I'm your master bitch
I said master this dick and then he shot me in the head and killed me. I looked at this guy on the
Friend list
I looked on my friends list and saw his name as players recently played rah rah
And I looked for his friends this and the geezer I've been running around with was on his friends
It's like dog. Yeah, so I messaged him saying yeah good setup mate like low, you know fair play good good banter
And he was like, oh no, he killed me too. And I was complying I was like you're full of shit
You're lying. You know, he sent me a screenshot of it saying you are there. I'm not stupid. That's a why would you screenshot that?
Mmm, I mean
You're on his friends. This is are you got me? Yeah, you're punk. Fair play. Good. Good. Good job. Good job
But yeah now that's happened to me twice now last time got eaten this time. I just got tied up and shot
Mm-hmm. They will not be a third time. There will be though
They will not because if it happens ever anything like that ever happens again, I'm not I'm not surrendering
I'll just run
If it because it's not that easy even though I'm tied up
If he's if I just sprint in the other direction, I'm still got my hands tied but I can sprint
He's still a shoot me that ain't easy. And it ain't easy being cheesy
also
Also
He I can out I can out stamina rim because he's got loads of stuff
Yeah, and I have so he will run out of oxygen for I will your bare bones
So yeah next time they will not be a next time. I'm just saying that is how it ends now
Yeah, I will still do play my way, but there will be no more eating of me
No more hostage in of me. There will be no more
Domination of me. This is the villain arc. The villain arc is
This is where Darth Vader comes in. This is how I'm nice bro. I helped that guy who just started playing but even the daisy
Infection gets me as I said to you before I'm helping him
I'm teaching him but every time he's not looking I'm pointing my gun at his head thinking I could if I wanted to
I mean, I'm nice, but now I'm just gonna be a bit more ruthless now
There is gonna be this is what needs to be happened
Wearing an earring
Yeah, you know, I've got both my ears done
Do you normally wear rings? I've always got two rings in. Oh fucking Captain Oopz
Yeah, fucking Ooligan. Oh Pat Butcher. Green straight light. G-U-S-U
I've never noticed. No I have before. I just caught me off guard
That's yeah, that's what you get for being fucking nice
I try and tell you all the time we need to be more mean
But you're also the one that always tells me that when it comes to a role-playing setting
You play the dickhead because you're not a dickhead in real life
And you want to play something that you can't be in real life. And this is true
However, there is something about DayZ which makes me feel bad about being a dickhead
The survival mechanic of it. We're all struggling
Maybe but then I don't know like games like Bowlers Gate
I'm just fucking with the NPCs and fucking computer
Well, this is another person who might have played it for fucking the last, you know, last week and a half
Building up their character. You know, it might be, you know, just having a few hours every night
And I take it away from them for what?
See I relish in that though. If I come across someone and they're like
They put a hundred hours into this character
They're fucking they're streaming it trying to get a year's worth of fucking one character
The idea of relinquishing that person from that burden is fantastic
See I'd feel terrible
I'd love it. I would absolutely love it just to just to know that on the other side of that screen
Someone's annoyed. It's perfect
They would be as well
It's absolutely perfect. I absolutely love it
Me and Mark have it when we're just out and about if you ever hear anyone bibbing their horn
We laugh because we know that person's more pissed off than we are
Oh for sure
It's great. I love it. And I want to do that one Daisy
But I never fucking last long enough to be able to have the capability to kill someone
I'm never really I'm never really suited up suited up and booted enough for it
You play third person though, didn't you?
Yeah
It's harder
I might fucking jump it when because last time I played I did really enjoy it
And I think the last time I played I did play first person off the back of what you were saying
And I definitely got further than than I ever did
And then that that tip of you saying where if you're in a vicinity just open up your bags to see if it was it
Because I was fucking panning shelf by shelf trying to find shit
I was like this is far as I had was anyone enjoy this is fucking annoying
But that makes perfect sense if you can just open your bags up
But it has got that that weird kind of it's so boring but not at the same time
It's immersive
Yeah, it's like simulator games like trucking simulator or farming simulator
You go this is this is shit, but I love it
Like what am I doing? I'm just working and working away from work
And then fucking same with Daisy. I'm just surviving
But it's fun
I don't know no other game gives you that feeling of just like I need to make a fire because I'm cold
And I need to cook this chicken, but the smoke's gonna give me away and it's nighttime
But the smoke will stick out so you make a fire and you're sitting by the fire
Cooking your chicken on a stick that you've fucking crafted
And then you hear like a rustle in the bushes and you're paranoid you're turning around looking like scared
Is that someone or is that play your minds playing tricks on you and this is a computer games mental
I just I just wish that the graphics were beefed up
I can't wait for the next one. I wish it's gonna be amazing
I wish that the graphics were beefed up and I wish that the the actual mechanics of the game were a little bit more
I'd say I'd like it to be slightly less immersive
A little bit more lenient
Like not not to a massive sense but to a point of for example kind of if I want to reload a gun
I've got to have the magazine and the gun and the bullets
But I don't want to have to fucking take the magazine out of the gun and then load the bullets in individually
And then put the bullets back in or if I do have to do that, that's fine
But make the whole process more streamlined rather than having to fuck because I know on PC
It's probably a piece of piss to do that because it's so much more intuitive
Whereas on PlayStation trying to fucking navigate the settings and shit and the menus to do that in the heat of battle
Just annoying
It's very true, but that's where preparation comes into it, doesn't it?
Because if you've got a fucking I've got an M4 I've never had one
But if I had an M4 and I had two clips of M4
Of two magazines of M4 fully loaded with bullets in my inventory
And I shoot all my M4 bullets that are in my gun
If I just hold either triangle or square it will just change the magazine because I've got a clip ready
But if you've got an empty clip it's pointless
So it's all about preparation you don't actually have to take the magazine out
If you've got a full clip ready you can just reload and it will do it automatically
But also the person that you're fighting with also is in the same position as you
There's no cross play so you will be fighting other people in PlayStation navigating them
And you will be going through the same systems that you will be going through
I get it, I do get what you're saying
But I also like that bit of immersion because it gives you you know
Oh it's night time I don't really want to be out in the dark
Because you have to use a torch and people will see you
So I'll just sit here for the night and I'll do a bit of maintenance
I'll fucking repair the guns
I'll load all the bullets in my clips
I'll get rid of any shit I don't need
I'll eat the food I've got
I'll make some rags
It just gives you that something to do
I don't know it's just something about it that's really therapeutic but also terrifying
I'm a huge fan, always will be
But yeah that's DayZ
Obviously we only ever talk about the same five games
Because we've got nothing else going for us
Mark said that he's playing quite a bit of Red Dead Online
And he said that it's still fucking booming
But he's getting absolutely walked over because he's a little fucking little fresh born
Because I believe he's still trying to get the platinum on that
Or at least complete it
It's a long old fucking game
That's a big boy game
We were talking about how Rockstar is just an absolute powerhouse
And I don't think that GTA 6 has the capability to flop
No
You know what I mean
If it comes out to 6 out of 10 reviews it's still going to sell more than any other game in the last 10 years
Yeah but I don't even think it would come out to 6 out of 10 reviews
No but it won't but say it did for some reason
It'd still sell more than any other game
Yeah yeah yeah I just
When you really think about it the
Like the effort that Rockstar puts into their games is crazy
Like the depth and all the little fucking tiny details
I keep like harping back to it just in Red Dead when you fucking smash a molotov
And you can go into the fucking photo editor
And you can zoom in on the glass and you can see the fucking reflections on whatever it's reflecting
Like that kind of detail I find so crazy because in real time gameplay you ain't fucking noticing that
You've bounced a molotov off of someone's head
Like you ain't going to be looking at the fucking glass shards
And I just find that sort of effort that's gone into creating those details from a game that's that old as well
And it's the same with GTA
GTA V was fucking crazy
The aggro that went into making that
I just can't see how something like GTA VI can be anything less than almost perfect
I agree, when you look back GTA come out fucking what?
25 fucking years ago
It feels that way
But you can go on YouTube now and look at IGN's fucking 100 hidden details
And there's loads of them
100 hidden details from IGN solely on GTA V
And there's things like oh fucking
If you shoot the tire in this way it will deflate this way
But if you shoot it this way it will completely disperse
Or if your car is just idling it will sound like this
But if you drive it through a bit of water first it will sound like this
Who is coming up with this shit?
But then details are what all culminate together to make it such a fucking amazing experience
And then details do matter
But you have to go all in with the details or not at all
It's so weird because you think
There must have been
There's obviously been board rooms and big fucking groups of people
That have come together and think like right what's the little things that we can put into this game
To make it something really special
And like you say, there's change the pitch of the fucking engine if we drive through certain weather
And let's have the tire tracks last for this long and do this and blah blah blah blah
And you think from a consumer point of view
You almost look at it and go
Well they don't fucking matter, you don't need that
But I guarantee if you were to remove that
You'd notice straight away
So it's so odd to think that
So much effort has gone into putting those details into a game
For most people to not even really notice
But would definitely notice if the details weren't there
Like what you're doing is so pointless but not pointless at the same time
It's pointless in the grand scheme of things but mirrored
It's the most important thing you can do
Because I feel like
Like even down to the ambience of a game
If the ambience isn't right
Fucking whether the songs like the feel of it
And that must take a lot of effort
That doesn't really get noticed
Like you say that
When a game is so good that it's so immersive
You don't even realise you're being immersed in it
You know what I mean?
When you're just playing a game you don't realise how drawn into the game you really are
That's why DayZ is so good
It looks like shit and it doesn't play particularly great
But it means something
What I'm doing means something and it's immersive
Loading up that magazine with bullets
Why can't I put these bullets into the magazine?
Because they're still in a box
I've got to unbox them first
All them little things that are just mundane tasks
Because you're doing them and your life's on the line at all times
It's immersive as fuck
GTA, yeah, it's like my car's dirty
I'll take it to the car wash
I still wish, and I hope they do in the new one
One thing that's always irked me about GTA
Which I know 90% of people won't want
You probably won't want it
But I wish you had to fuel your car up
I hate the fact that you've got infinite fuel
I'd love to be in a police chase worrying about how much fuel I've got left
Am I going to get away?
Or chasing someone down online and they run out of fuel
That would just be great
I feel like in an online aspect you could almost have it as like
One of the things you can have put
Obviously you can put armor protection and theft prevention and shit like that into your vehicle
Put a fucking reserve fuel tank in there
So when you are in a high speed chase
And you're burning through fuel
Flip, boom, flip the button and you've got another 50 litres of fuel in your motor
I like the idea, I've always thought that
Little jerry can in the boat
Yeah, because I've also always liked the idea of driving to a petrol station and filling your car up
Because that's the one thing of GTA where I thought these are fucking pointless
I'm just here to blow these up
Is petrol stations
Because you don't do anything in them
You can rob them
Yeah, you rob them and then you fucking shoot the tanks and then off you go
And yeah, I think it would be quite interesting to have something like that
And then you can really go fucking far fetch with it and start having like solar powered cars
Where they're fine during the day and then come night they're fucking useless
And shit like that
But that's assuming that if us two idiots have fought with shit like that before
Then what of the fucking big brains at Rockstar fought for GTA 6
Yeah, it's not that
You know that they would have toyed with the idea before and all the other GTAs
I just think they don't know whether people would want that
Because a lot I just said some people love that some people think I don't want to have to do that
Same as I prefer GTA the new one if it followed in the footsteps of Red Dead and made it more immersive
And I think the online would be better for it as well
If you could you couldn't carry all your guns on you all times
Yeah, your guns are in your boot of your car or something
You could carry a rifle and a pistol or something
Because then you could get into a fight
What do I want to take with me or blah blah
And then you're not fucking fighting a geezer and then just pulls a rocket launcher out his trousers
I don't like that
Yeah, you should you should almost have it as where when you start off in online
Yeah, you can only carry the guns that you can carry and then and then yeah, you can you can put them in your boot
Because make it because guns are pretty inexpensive as it is anyway
So make it so that if they're in your boot and your fucking car gets blown up within your guns are gone as well
Like it's that's another cost but then also have it so that part way through like the main missions or whatever in the online
One of the rewards for doing one of the heist or whatever is a is a like an armored vehicle where it has capacity to carry those like more weapons
Like introduce that kind of stuff
So it does because I know what you mean when you're fucking when you're pissing around you drive past someone they're shooting at you with a pistol and then boom you got fucking seven homing missiles coming at you all from the same person or that fucking that hover fucking motorbike bollocks with the rocket launcher whatever the fuck that thing's called
I hate that I feel like that was the down slope of GTA online when they started introducing that kind of shit into it
This is this is fucking this is annoying man because the last time I probably played it was when the Hydra was brand new and I remember getting hold of that and I was I feel fucking bad ass in this
I mean a fucking fighter jet that can also hover like a helicopter and shoot shit up and then you've got people riding around the fucking mopeds with nuclear bombs on them. That's crazy.
Yeah, I want it to rather stay a bit more realistic. I don't like with him flying cars and all that crap, but each their own whatever people prefer is what they'll cater to but I just hope they go more with the Red Dead model and make it more immersive and not so so silly.
But I do need a piss.
I need a piss as well.
I don't know.
There we go. I want a fucking release date. That's what I fucking want.
Do you?
Yes, please because I just want that excitement.
I mean when you when you know that something's coming.
Like,
like,
April 2025.
Oh, whoa, I gotta wait a year, one year and then you can start counting down looking for them collectors editions. They do collect editions of GTA.
I don't know. I doubt it. Back then it wasn't so prominent.
I wonder.
I think I think we're looking at September October November next year.
You reckon that's my prediction.
GTA
DJ collectors.
Another did they.
Grand Theft Auto five collectors edition.
And then they did a
What's this?
You can still can still fucking buy it. Yeah.
Hundred and thirty four quid trees
for the Xbox.
I don't know what that was.
Yeah, it comes with a map, a hat, was our wallet,
a security deposit bag with a logo key,
a new era nine fifty snapback, a blueprint map,
a steelbook.
Well, it's not bad, you know.
Thank God for digital now, though, because I remember fucking when GTA last came out, I was thinking, I hope I can get one because they get sold out and shit, bro.
It just you go to a shop and there was none.
Yeah, but that I
know we're going to sound sound old.
Obviously you are.
But I'm not.
No, I'll I'll ride this fucking trial with you.
You remember the days when you used to have to do that.
Yes.
When what was it?
MW2 when that come out, I remember fucking my mum took me to Tesco's to get it because everyone else was fucking curing outside game and they're all going to be sold out.
But Tesco's had them fucking front line and center about one in the morning.
We was fucking primed and ready.
Yeah, but no one no one now is going to experience that probably ever again because everything you just buy online now, you're not waiting outside shops.
Any more for fucking consoles and game releases and I miss that.
I miss it.
But I also don't because it was very inconvenient.
It's fun, but it's inconvenient.
I would like GTA six to come sooner rather than later, but let them take their time because when that comes out, then everything else is pointless.
So I would like to enjoy the games that I have now.
Well, they've taken their fucking time.
It's been like 10 years needs longer.
He's longer to cook.
It's marinating.
Yeah, you reckon?
Yeah, better be good.
I think it's gonna be fucking fantastic.
And that's it for you.
I was looking at the nearly bought the Star Wars Battlefront Classic collection.
You dirty little cunt.
You're fucking disgusting.
Why?
Well, because that Star Wars itch is coming back.
It's nearly there after our fucking little no man's sky conversation and all the other shit didn't help.
That's why I played a bit of Helldivers.
But yeah, but I thought no, be sensible.
Don't buy it is the season.
Let's have a little look see and see what people are saying at the moment and what people saying at the moment.
Don't fucking buy it.
I looked yesterday.
It gives it was playing on.
Was it?
I think it was European servers.
And there was one server.
One one one server and out of the 64 players, it was 30 in it.
Well, they still haven't fucking fixed it.
It's just dead, bro.
Like I said to you, because it's multiplayer, it came out so badly.
Everyone refunded it.
There's less than like there was less than a thousand people playing it.
Yeah, that's insane.
And this guy's is from Australia, but he played it at peak European time.
He said and he had to play it at 284 ping.
Fuck you.
And yeah, he couldn't even get a full lobby and there was only one server.
So yeah, just I just glad I didn't because you can buy the games separately.
The old ones for father.
So they know what's the point, you know, because the whole point of this was to make it look a little bit prettier, which whatever.
But they haven't really.
And mainly bring the multiplayer back because there's no online servers versions.
But if there's no one playing it anyway, what's the fucking point?
I wonder if you can find the fucking the current.
Well, it said that the player base is so low that it doesn't even give you a player register.
No, that is that come out like three weeks ago, is it?
Four weeks is just it's just terrible.
So on the steam charts.
I've got it.
This is unbelievable on the steam charts.
All right. So it doesn't account for anything else.
The as of right.
So January 20, 24.
Is that when did it come out?
Like much.
This might be the fucking.
This is bog standard fucking Star Wars Battlefront.
This isn't probably doing better than the classic collection.
So what was it? Battlefront Classic.
What was it called? Yeah, the classic collection.
That's it.
Here we go.
No, because that's given me the fucking.
Yeah, I think you are right. It's too low for it or even fucking.
But then again, the fucking the Battlefront, the original,
it was saying that this month they've had 43 people play it.
So maybe it's not that far off of it.
Everyone's. Yeah, but if that's registered and it's had 43,
that collection thing, if it's not registered in a number, it must be less than that.
It's mental. It's fucking crazy.
But what it has done is give a lot of massive resurgence to Battlefront 2.
The EA one. Yeah, it's had a lot more players lately.
Everyone's gone, you know, maybe I mistreated you.
I've got it. I've got it. I've got it. I've got it.
I got it.
Right. Right. So for the Star Wars Battlefront Classic collection.
OK. It. Fuck me.
So the all time peak, which was 22 days ago, was nine thousand two hundred
and thirty two. Right.
Which I even then I feel like for a fucking Star Wars game, even if even if it is
as an old game, the re-released, that's such a low play account.
Yeah. But people waiting for reviews.
The 24 hour peak was 210 players.
Right. And currently, right now.
And apparently this is fucking right now across all of steam.
There's a hundred people playing it right now.
A hundred people. There's a hundred people.
And what's the date today? It's the fifth of April.
And the peak today, which was at two in the morning, was 208 players.
And there is currently. Yeah, that's terrible, isn't it?
It's fucking terrible. It's not even close to terrible.
It's the 30th. The 30th of March, there was at its peak 428 players.
At its peak. That's fucking that is diabolical.
You know how you know how bad that is.
We've got an all time of we. Fuck me.
So, yeah, it was literally like 9232.
And then you've gone straight down to fucking an average player count of 200.
That's like that's like three lobbies worth worldwide.
That's awful. But why?
Help me to understand, because obviously you're far more Star Wars adept than I ever will be.
Why? Why did so little people so interested in this game?
Well, that's not the case. The interest is there.
It's just misery from the reviews.
A lot of people have refunded it.
A lot of people didn't buy it just because of how bad the reviews were.
A lot of people already own the game, but don't play the online aspect anyway.
She can just play against box, which is what I used to do. Yeah.
Just yeah, I don't know.
Some people just probably knew it was going to be shit.
No point of people playing the other battle fronts.
You know, all we want is battlefront free and made exactly how we said the other day.
Battle pass system, blah, blah, blah job done.
Like if I had a PC like a good PC, I'll play Battlefront 2 modded,
because that's that's got mods that you can play online with other people and stuff.
And they've got all the characters, man, all the Mandalorian, all them boys,
which is what Battlefront should have done, but they didn't.
But every now and again, I still always go back and play Battlefront 2 just because it's good.
It's like nobody is.
I think nowadays game online games are just far too sweaty and competitive.
You know, whereas like Battlefront, I can just put on.
I don't care if I die a hundred times and kill three people running around having fun.
Like it's mindless fun. But now, like any game, well, metal loadout.
You got to have this. You got to have that. You got to put these attachments on you.
Fucking I just want to sit and chill.
I was watching an Asmongold stream yesterday and he was he was talking a little bit about how
he believes that add ons should be removed from WoW,
because for the exact reason that you've just said, it's becoming too meta intensive.
All passes and shit like that that we've spoken about before.
Obviously, Final Fantasy doesn't allow for add ons,
which I feel like is beneficial for their community.
But World of Warcraft is all over it.
And yeah, Asmongold was just saying that it's it's created a and you see it in Helldivers as well.
If people haven't got the right stratagems attached, they're getting booted from games
because they're not playing a meta a meta build currently.
And that that kind of leave that shit for ranked.
You know, I mean, leave that for a ranked lobby when you're doing that in fucking normal pub.
Like, fuck me, even down to WoW outside of mythic raiding.
Fucking leave the metas alone. Like no one's interested.
It just it creates a very bland gaming style,
because the people who are currently fucking right in those meta play styles
can't see the outside of the players who aren't anywhere near that and vice versa.
It's it's just such a it's just toxicity when you have that kind of that that that meta ism.
It's just boring as well.
I mean, WoW is a bit different because at least you can make your gear look different.
But if you're playing like Core Duty or something, if you're playing Warzone and everyone's like using the meta stuff,
it means everybody's using the same gun.
It's so boring because it means if you don't use that gun, you're a huge disadvantage.
So you have to use it. And it's just not fun.
It's don't get me wrong, getting killed in Warzone is never fun.
But it's cool to see someone using a gun that is not being used.
Yeah, yeah. Like DMR or something like that.
I think that's when I was playing COD, why I had such a such a passion for fucking running around with the spade
and just nutting people in with the spade, because it was so fucking weird.
Everyone's running around with guns or for a long time when I used to just rock around with a rocket launcher.
That was it. Fucking spade and a rocket launcher.
And I was away because it's just that that that unorthodox play style is, I think, so enticing for so many people.
But at the same time, when you have a meta, it makes playing against the grain so much more difficult
because you've got to try that a little bit harder.
And then you especially on a live service game, you then rely on the fucking player base allowing you to continue playing that.
I hate metas.
Yeah, so do I.
And it's only come from the Internet and YouTube and influencers and all this, because Marvel Snap, for example,
I don't play meta decks.
What I do is I get the meta deck, take the cards out that I don't want, and then I put ones in that I do.
So I'll have like the core cards that I need to use, I feel.
And then I'll put my own thing on, because every time you come up against someone in Marvel Snap,
within the first two card placements, sometimes the first, you know exactly what deck they're playing.
Yeah, I know exactly what deck you've got.
Whereas with me, you're like, you think you know, but you don't.
But then the problem comes is if you keep getting stomped in whatever game it is, you're like, well, I have to.
I have to adjust.
It's boring. It makes the game boring because the whole fun of games that are competitive or have any sort of customization
is experimenting and finding the thing that suits you.
But if you can find the thing that suits you and it doesn't work and it's not through your ability,
then you either play the meta or you don't play because it's frustrating.
Yeah, that's when it becomes really shit.
I think have a, if you're going to have a meta, have a meta,
but make sure that everything's as finely balanced as it can possibly be.
There's always going to be something that is the best.
I think that's just how it is.
But have it so that everything's at a level where anything is still capable of beating anything with the same ease.
You know what I mean?
They just can't do it.
No game company has ever been able to make something that is viable across multiple things.
It's always one.
When Dragonflight come out, the balancing was perfect.
It was side by side.
Everything was pretty fucking level.
Obviously, there was still a graph there and there was things that were slightly outperforming,
but it was on a very basic level.
Everything was balanced.
And then over time, it's now become fucking yo-yo.
That's why when I wanted to make a cast or a fucking asked you
because me being me would look at damage tables and stuff and go, all right, well, that cast is on top.
I'm going to pick that one, even if I don't enjoy it that much.
And I asked you instead and said, fuck, you pick one, pick one for me and I will play it.
And I'm playing it in such a different way.
It is so much more enjoyable because I'm not looking at guides.
I'm not fucking looking at what talents I should be picking.
I'm picking what I want to fucking pick.
I'm questioning. I'm not just fucking running dungeons.
I'm actually enjoying myself far more.
I'm only like fucking level 24.
I can do that in about half an hour if I'm just spamming dungeons,
but I'm taking my time and actually doing some shit.
And it just feels more fun.
Makes it a more refreshing experience for something that you've played for so long.
Yeah.
Must feel completely different and new as well.
Completely different.
That's so much how I feel with Dragon's Dog.
The whole class thing is good, man. It's good fun.
I've got the the current player counts for the most played games on Steam at the moment.
Counter Strike Dota.
It is, yeah, literally fucking Counter Strike 2 with 1.3 million players currently playing.
With a peak of 1.8 million.
Which is crazy. You think its all time peak was 1.8 million players.
And in the last 24 hours it's had 1.4.
And then, yeah, you've got Dota 2, 500,000, 536,000, PUBG, 521, Apex Legends, 300,000.
That's such a big gap though from Counter Strike 2 to Dota.
Is Counter Strike 2 really that good?
It's that popular. I don't know if it's that good.
Because any gameplay I've ever seen of it, it looks boring as fuck.
It does look boring, but people make a lot of money from it, don't they?
Janky. There's obviously something that I'm missing there.
They make a lot of money from it. They'd fucking open them boxes, get them flashy knives and then sell them on.
Maybe I'll investigate it.
Stardew Valley.
Yes, up there is it?
152,000 people playing that.
Why? Has it had an update or something?
Fuck knows. And then GTA V, 145. Helldivers 2, 141. Rust.
See, why is Helldivers 2 on Steam and not on Xbox? That's baffling to me.
Weird, isn't it?
Yeah.
Power World.
Go on Power World. Go on, Nibiri.
113,000. Fucking wallpaper engine.
What? That's a game.
I don't know. It must just be a thing to have dynamic wallpapers, I guess.
Rainbow Six Siege is there. Call of Duty is there. Buster Hunter.
It's quite decent, to be fair. Baldur's Gate 3 was 61,000. Dragon's Dogma 61,000 as well.
Go on, the boys.
They're fucking equal peg. Dragon's Dogma Peak was 228,000. And Baldur's Gate 3 was 875,000. These are quite interesting numbers.
Fucking hell, yeah. Lost Ark, its peak was 1,325,000.
Let's go back to Stardew Valley a minute, right? I can't get me around this. I'm looking.
The creator of Stardew Valley, his Twitter account, and I'm guessing this is the official Twitter account for Stardew Valley too.
1.2 million followers.
Yep.
The Reddit, which is also, by the way, another huge barometer I use for how interested people are in games.
1.9 million.
I don't understand how Reddit works. I read it sometimes and Steph reads it a lot. I don't understand Reddit.
I don't get how you search things. How do you look things up?
Whatever game I'm playing, if I'm really interested in it, I'll just go World of Warcraft on Google.
On Google?
This is how I do it. World of Warcraft.
And you just type in Reddit?
Reddit. And then I click Reddit and then I click on WoW. I've already joined it. And then I'll go join.
And then when I want to look at stuff, it's just a social media for your interest.
Do you not just search it in the app?
Yeah, you can.
Because I've got the app.
Yeah, of course you can. But I just find it easier to Google because it brings up the specific one.
World of Warcraft.
But look, these are all the things I follow. Apex, Assassin's Creed, Borderlands, Call of Duty, Cyberpunk, Days Gone, DayZ, Death Stranding, Destiny, Divinity Original Sim, Doom, Fallen Order, Fallout, Frontier, Ghost of Tsushima.
It's all the games that I play. And then it's just like a social media for my games that I like.
It's got 2.6 million people following this.
Yeah, it is.
So I click on that. And what does it then... So how do you then gauge stuff in the community?
What do you mean?
Well, you said you use it to gauge your game.
Well, yeah, look how many people follow it. 2.6 million. So obviously it's a very popular game that a lot of people are interested in.
It says there's 1,524 people coming home for a little treat.
That's how many are online in the forum talking now.
Oh.
And the number above that is how many...
So what does the... What's the arrows do? Upvoting.
So that's just a like. Like, dislike, comment and share. They're the arrows.
I like this.
And then...
So then what...
And then also you can... So this will be like the most recent stuff that's been posted, right?
But you can... If you click this button, this one...
Yeah.
You can look at the newest posts or the top posts or the controversial or the rise in.
Obviously it's default set to the hot ones.
Controversial. How the fuck do they manage that one? What's the metric for that?
It'll be like 50, 50 likes and dislikes.
So is this what you do? You just search the thing that you want to search and then you just look at the various community...
Has it got like just a standard homepage? It does.
Yeah, it's just a page.
So do I follow these then?
Yes.
Oh yeah, these are communities I've joined.
Yeah, and then if you're just on the standard homepage, it'll just come up with random stuff.
Yeah, random suggested shit.
And then you click on the page if you want to look... I want to look at more GTA.
So I'll go on the GTA Reddit and I'll have a little look, see what people are doing.
Oh my God, I've had Reddit for so long and I've never... This is fantastic.
I've posted on Reddit and got...
All the info that you would get from here.
That's great.
All the wow shit I'm seeing. Oh wow.
Anyway, before I get stuck with that, what's your problem with Stardew Valley?
No, I'm just shocked at the level of fucking just followers and interest in it. It's such a strange little game.
It's peak.
I posted something about Red Dead Redemption five years ago and got 841 likes.
What was it about?
This is just me. Terrible as well, just a picture of the telling.
No, read off your fucking little caption.
I've spent the last hour fishing and watching other passersby across the river doing all sorts of different things.
This is more than just a game. It's a world to get lost in and savour.
What a magnificent piece of art. Thank you, Rockstar.
No, then you're wholesome.
My biggest one, my biggest post was a Star Wars one.
Of course it was.
I'm trying to find it. This is where I reached fucking...
What's that position?
Five hundredth in the world on Gwent.
Oh man, such a good time.
Canada Water train station in London looks familiar.
It looks like the Sand People thing.
For some reason it says 30, but I shared it in one community and it went booloo.
What's that? Science is precise. Apex Legends. That's me as caustic.
Fucking hell.
This is great.
Stardew Valley's peak was 236,000.
Oh sorry, here it is. I posted that Canada Water thing and its train station looks familiar.
But I'm blaming the Star Wars thing. Two and a half thousand likes.
People loved it.
People would just take the piss out of me probably.
And its 24 hour peak was 172,000.
So there's only 50,000 in it from the absolute peak.
And how old is fucking Stardew Valley?
Fucking years. Years and years and years.
It's crazy, isn't it?
You know, it's just had such a steady stream.
I don't understand why. Why is it so many players now on...
It's number 43 in the top sellers on Steam.
Overall.
What number?
43.
That's nuts, isn't it?
I don't even think there's any combat. I don't understand the game.
I thought you'd played it.
I have played it. That's what I mean. I don't understand.
I haven't played it enough to have a proper opinion so I shouldn't say much.
But from what I gather, you're a little guy or girl.
You bowl about. You water your plants.
And then you can occasionally go into a cave and hit some stuff.
But I don't... I know like... What's its face like that as well, isn't it?
Animal Crossing or whatever. Is that what it's called?
Yeah, that's similar to that.
But is that all there is?
Is Stardew Valley always at that sort of level or has there been some update where that's just blown it up to that?
Because that's nuts.
Well, I'll be able to tell you.
For that game to have that many players.
For me anyway.
No, but look. Stardew Valley. Here's the little fucking chart. Let's go.
Let's go in the... Let's go all time.
Uh...
What the fuck?
No, Stardew Valley actually peaked.
Hehehehe.
How does that fucking work then? How does that work?
It's telling me 2016.
It had 64,000... 64,500 players March 2016.
And then...
March 2024 is 236,500 players.
How?
I don't know. I don't know how that works. But that's the metrics that I'm being given.
That's the... That's the graph.
And yeah, that's what it... Yeah.
But that... Explain that. So...
On the 18th of March this year, 55,000 players.
On the 24th of March, 236,500 players.
What's happened between the 18th of March and the fucking... the 24th?
Explain to me.
This is what I'm trying to find out. This is what... This is what piqued my interest.
What's happened, please? I want answers.
Well, I looked at their Twitter and I couldn't really...
I couldn't really see.
Their all-time peak was 12 days ago. Yeah, 236,000 players.
On a game that come out in... in what? Fucking...
Let's Google it. 2016.
Why is everyone playing Stardew Valley now?
2024.
I don't understand.
Yeah, literally.
February, 2026. Or March 20... Sorry.
March, 2016. 64,000 players.
And then in September, 2016, it dropped down to 7,500 players.
And then there was a steady... a steady, like, gameplay...
player count of about between like 10 to 30-odd thousand.
All the way up until December 2020, when it's 90,000.
Here we go. I know. Go on.
Stardew Valley 1.6 content update was released on March 19th, 2024
and featured a slew of new features including new items, a farm layout,
and tons of fixes and adjustments. Use this guide as a hub to catch up
on all new things with the update.
I only found that because I found a little post saying,
oh, we can't wait for 1.6.
What? That many fucking people?
This is what I mean.
But even this doesn't make it...
November 2020, 22,000 players.
December 2020, 90,000 players.
Fuck it. I'm playing Stardew Valley 1 again.
But that's such a big fucking jump.
And then, yeah, to go from February 2024, 61,000 players.
And then March 2024, 236,000 players.
An increase of 174,000 players.
It's nuts. It's fucking nuts.
And look, you can get it on your phone.
So I'm just going to buy it and do it on my phone.
You buy it and you let me.
I will buy this on one condition.
Yeah.
This is the top paid gaming role playing.
What the fuck's going on?
You can play it on your phone.
I will buy this if I'm only on one condition.
I'm going to find out if that condition is met right now.
Stardew Valley. It is literally there.
Five quid.
Get with Play Pass.
There's fucking Play Pass. What?
There's Battle Pass on the phone.
But what do you do?
I don't understand what you do.
OK, so I'm not getting it.
But I would have. But I nearly did.
So what I wanted was cross save.
Oh, and there's not?
Well, there is, but not for me.
Stardew Valley's cross progression capabilities are limited.
The only cross possession support is between PC and mobile.
So if you play on the PC and play on your mobile, then yeah.
I like games like that.
I like the thought of I've got a bit of time at work, I'll fucking water my plants.
Then when I get home, it's done.
I like that.
If you haven't got that, it's a bit fucking stupid.
No, I don't want to play on two things.
Well, there you go then, ladies and gentlemen.
If you're looking for that fucking the next big fucking heavy hitting game,
it's the one that come out in 2016.
Stardew Valley.
Just had a big old update.
Maybe I'll fucking speak to Steph about it.
It looks like a game that she'd very much enjoy.
All right, see you later, everyone.
Hooray.
